Questions from Yerevan
Does it support Armenian and Russian subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Armenian and Russian or any other language.
Can I watch my own films in Yerevan?
Yes — put the server on a PC, Mac, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home, add your folders, and your films play on any screen in Yerevan.
Will it work on the way to Gyumri?
It does. Between Yerevan and Gyumri (about 89 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What does Silux Media cost in Armenia?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Can I watch my films in Azerbaijan?
Yes — the server stays at home in Yerevan and you watch from anywhere, including Ganja about 166 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
How much mobile data does a film use in Yerevan?
Measured: 1.0 GB per HD hour with Silux Media versus 2.7 GB with Plex for an identical picture — the same film, under half the data.
